He could be being deliberately vague, but the only other time he's talked about "not being a gambling man" has been when he actually did not know the outcome of a situation.

Not sure what, if anything, to make of it. It just seems a bit strange.

I'm pretty sure he's referencing the split we already saw. In one branch, Terezi doesn't stab Vriska and so she survives because Jack just flies off and murders everyone else. In the one that actually happened, Terezi went all Mind-powers and foresaw the other branch, and so went through with the stabbing.

Alternatively, he's just fucking with Vriska, since nothing in that conversation seems like an outright lie. Sort of like how he gave Rose 50/50 odds on ascending to the God Tiers, despite pretty clearly knowing how all of that was going to play out.

Edit: You know, Lord English's interaction with Aradiancestor paralleling WV's interaction with John could also suggest that he is someone making use of SBURB's tech to interact with universes in the same way Exiles interact with players. This also works when you consider that Lord English enters a universe after the apocalypse, just like Exiles arrive on the planet after ITS apocalypse. Of course, we've already got narrative word that Lord English can travel through time, but that sort of interaction may still enter into it.

Hm. That is an interesting point. One thing I haven't ever really seen mentioned in Homestuck discussion is the obvious (probably too obvious) question of where exactly Sburb/Sgrub came from.

We know that the ultimate purpose of Sburb is to create universes and that Lord English (probably) eats universes. We also know that Lord English is ALREADY HERE. So it seems pretty likely that LE created Sburb.

So maybe the technology is similar? Although the similarity there would be between WV using a panel on one of the capsule things, not the tech of Sburb itself.

Gah, if Hussie can resolve every single thread still hanging in Homestuck, he deserves a goddamn medal.

I was thinking that too; that he might cultivate universes for culling. Dunno though. At any rate, I'd bet on it all coming to be as a result of this dual session.

Lord English is actually an interdimensional chef on a quest to find the most delicious frog legs in existence. Calling it now.

Locke cole · 10-27-2011, 04:58 PM

The best frog legs in existence are the frog legs of existence.

Well one thing we do know is that he must be very tall. And the only article of clothing we've seen is his coat. Maybe what he's been looking for all this time were PANTS tall enough to fit his form. The tallest of tallpants.

Arcanum · 10-27-2011, 05:01 PM

The very same pants that FedoraFreak crafted. And then we will have the final showdown of Lord English VS Godtier FedoraFreak.

Dracorion · 10-27-2011, 05:06 PM

You know, if you made Cal a few times bigger the coat would probably fit him very well.

BitVyper · 10-27-2011, 05:08 PM

Yeah, Cal's another possibility, especially since he's very notably still in the story at this point despite his seeming purpose having been served.

New card!

Tsk Locke, you should stop listening to me. You might make me start thinking that I'm not completely full of bad ideas.
